The demand from china and india is expected to grow even more in the coming few years.

The supply side is getting more and more expensive as the "easy" oil dries up.

Result equals continuing higher and higher oil prices according to many...

Install one of these with a hydrogen generator and replace the gas tank with a water tank

The V-10 H2 ICE 225-310 horsepower.

That's what happens when you get the daily dose from guys like Rush and Hannity.

If they acn afford a $40,000 car in the first place they aren't going to give a shit how much the oil price goes up - they'll just pay it.
Hopefully in about five or ten years time we'll be using an alternative source of fuel in cars anyway. At least I hope we will.

The chance of there not being another recession in the next ten years is pretty remote IMO... we are WAY overdue for one right now based on history.

If oil continues to rise then inflation will skyrocket - the cost of making and distributing products is linked very closely to the price of oil. The response of central banks is ALWAYS to raise interest rates to curb demand. The general result is higher unemployment as demand drops because money is tighter.

Many people who can currently afford a large gas guzzler may find themselves paying more for everything not only gas in 5 years. They may not have a job either...

Don't forget the prices of gas in america as well as many other products has been artifically lower then the rest of the world for many many years. I doubt that will continue personally... the big car party might be over

When gas becomes too expensive for me to drive my hot rod I'm gonna kill you and siphon the gas out of your gas tank.

Make sure you go back in time and remove the bastards in the oil industry responsible stopping the production of hemp based fuel.

Just think about how energy independent our country would be.

Fvckers.

Don't make me go research the nationality of the chief at the Fat Duck and where he was trained. There's a 70% chance he's french and or was trained in france.

It's hurting allot of old people in New England. I don't know how people who don't know how to hustle a few bucks for the finer things are going to do. I see it all the time. Old people who can't heat their houses they worked all their lives to own and the utility's are killing them. To live a comfortable life here, it takes 2 almost 6 figure incomes and even those are bitching. I guess that's why they all go where 240 is to live the last years of their lives. Sad, but true. The SUV. It used to cost 10 to fill the tank, then 20 now 30 doesn't even top it off. It's raining and I'm board.

Were are going to "adapt". I don't think anybody is going to roll over and die. What do you drive? A bycycle?
